Chapter 13: Spending a Million

After making do for a night at the hospital, she took care of her mother's breakfast the next morning and then returned to their two-bedroom apartment.

She took out all her savings and calculated; she had a total of four hundred and fifty-seven thousand yuan. A heart transplant would cost five hundred thousand, leaving her short by just over forty thousand. If she worked hard for a few more months, she should be able to save up the amount needed.

Actually, she didn't earn a little in her day-to-day job; even in a bad month, she made over ten thousand yuan, but her mother's medication alone cost ten thousand a month, so over the years, she had hardly any savings.

Once her mother had the heart transplant, she wouldn't need to take medicine every day anymore. Then, she could start saving little by little, and life certainly wouldn't be as exhausting as before.

The thought of a better future filled Chen Zhi with fighting spirit.
